Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families

The Adult Children of Alcoholics is an anonymous Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of women and men who grew up in an alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional homes. They meet with each other in a mutually respectful, safe environment and acknowledge their common experiences. They discover how childhood affected people in the past and influences people in the present (see The Laundry List, and The Problem). You can learn how to take positive action. By practicing the Twelve Steps, focusing on The Solution, and accepting a loving Higher Power of understanding, you can find freedom from the past and a way to improve your life today.

We are human. We are imperfect.

As children, traumatic events, parents and other
relationships may have impacted our psychological and
emotional development and well-being.

As adults, we can at times respond to situations and our relationship to others from old behaviors that may not always be helpful or healthy.

My work is to help one learn the difference between our past and current true self, using several interventions and techniques.

We can survive this journey from a wounding past and
present and see more clearly options and ways of being that create new possibilities that exist within us.
